We know the law, the SSD system and how to help you achieve success

Like many government benefits, application for Social Security Disability is a complex process fraught with details and requirements that can easily overwhelm you. If you have been injured or are no long able to work due to a disability, it vital that you seek experienced help from an attorney immediately. We can help you navigate the SSD system to collect benefits for:

• Physical injury in an accident at home, at work or on the road
• Mental conditions that impact getting or keeping a job
• Chronic, long-term illnesses

How much you can collect depends on many factors such as how long you have been working, your income during that time, and if you are disabled and dependent upon a deceased spouse or parent. Applying for benefits requires submitting proper paperwork, including employment and medical evidence, or ultimately appearing before an administrative law judge in a hearing.

Success at any step of the process is tricky. Representation by an attorney at our firm can greatly improve your chances. We know how which forms to fill out and how. We know what proof is required and out to prevent mistakes by a clerk from jeopardizing your Social Security Disability claim.

You don't have to take "no" for an answer in a claim denial

Many people who apply for SSD benefits have their initial claims denied. Do not give up hope. Those with legitimate disabilities are often turned down and must file an appeal to obtain their rightful benefits. The government has strict requirements, from how documents are prepared, to when they are submitted. We will review your case and help you gather proper evidence and determine the best strategy for presenting a stronger case.
